While some of us (guilty, as charged) were sleeping last night, Google unleashed 2 of its smartphone offerings – Pixel and Pixel XL, at its “Made By Google” event.
Our previous article has already gone through the more technical aspects of the phone, but what does the internet think about it?
Other than taking the mickey out of the names of the colours available, most of the comments were centred around its hefty pricetag and likeness to competitor Apple’s iPhone.
Regardless, here are some responses we found which can only be described, in true Pixel style, as “quite, really, and very” hilarious.
The Internet Reacts
This Twitter user who realised the eerie similarities between the Pixel and iPhone 7’s default wallpaper:

This one who basically said “Thanks, but no thanks”:
Google Pixel thoughts TL;DR:
• ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• would absolutely get this if I wanted an Android phone
• I’ve no reason to want an Android phone— Steve T-S (@stroughtonsmith) October 4, 2016
This one who reminded us that even big corporations suffer from “Sorry, username taken.”:
It must really bug Google that not only do they not own the @pixel twitter account, but @pixel works for Apple.

This one who gave us goosebumps of the worst kind thinking back on Apple’s Keynote:
#GooglePixel has a headphone jack. #courage

That awkward moment when the 3.5 Jack invented in 1964 becomes a selling argument for a 2016 phone. #Pixel

Because nostalgia is in, no?

And this Redditor that wasn’t buying into the steep price, regardless of how promising it looks:
This other one though…
This one who’s probably into #dailywisdom:
All these Apple noobs just bought the iPhone 7. The best things in life, come to those who wait. @google #Pixel #GooglePixel

Brutal AF.
Pure, pure evil.
